Good news from the German CONDOR: The airline has lowered its flight prices to the Caribbean. Students who want to take a Spanish Course in the Dominican Republic can get a direct flight for € 730.- round-trip. That’s the lowest price by the airline this season so far.
Flight Deals to the Dominican Republic
Puerto Plata POP and Santo Domingo SDQ are the nearest airports to the IIC schools in Sosua and Santo Domingo (15/45 min drive). The best flight deals for direct flights right now are:

No Visa Needed
The good thing is: Students don’t need a visa, not even when they want to travel to the US later. Unlike Cuba which has again been further restricted, students who have visited the DR and want to go to the US any time after, can continue to use their ESTA form.
